Is going on birth control for low iron normal?
So, I went to my primary care doctor and he said that I had low iron. Then he recommended that I should go to my gynecologist and get on birth control, and then I wouldn’t have my menstrual cycle for 6 months which would help with low iron. Besides the blood report, I don’t really have any crazy symptoms cause of low iron. And I thought recommending getting on birth control and losing cycles was such a drastic approach cause birth control has so many side effects. Am i overthinking or is this normal?
